427. Once again. With Sirrah (*0) close to the Full Moon in September 20 (263) the Sun would be at Bharani in May 1 (263 - 183 + 41 = 121) and at Naos in July 20 (201 = 121 + 80):

At the time of Bharani the position of heliacal Naos in "June 10 (161 = 201 - 41) would in a way have corresponded to the position of Spica in JUNE 10 (161 = 354 / 2 - 11). I have been forced to introduce yet another style in order to show the dates in the age of Virgo - when she was at the Sun 172 days after the DECEMBER solstice.

Spica (282 = 464 - 182 = October 9) - Bharani (121) = 161. I.e., when Bharani had been at 0h then Naos would have been at right ascension day *81 ("June 10) and Spica at right ascension day *81 + 80 = *161 ("August 29, 241). In other words: 282 (October 9) - 41 = 241 ("August 29) = "June 10 (161) + 80.

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ...

In April 8 (365 + 396 / 4 = 464 = 16 * 29) the Full Moon would have been at Spica. At the time of Bharani the Full Moon would have been at Spica in day 241 ("August 29) + 182 = 423 = 366 + 57 ("February 27 → 2 / 27 →π) = 464 - 41.

365 + 57 = 422 ("February 26) ought to have correspond to 344 (DECEMBER 10) because 161 (JUNE 10) + 183 = 344.

I have here used the hura type of glyph in order to underline that Ca2-15 (41) and Ca5-16 (121) probably were identifying 0h, whereas *Ca14-21 (384) could have been related to a place defined from the Full Moon (Hotu).

Hura. 1. To fish with a small funnel-shaped net tied to the end of a pole. This fishing is done from the shore; fishing with the same net, but swimming, is called tukutuku. 2. To be active, to get moving when working: ka hura, ka aga! come on, get moving! to work! 3. Tagata gutu hura, a flatterer, a flirt, a funny person, a witty person. Hurahura, to dance, to swing. Vanaga. 1. Sling. In his brilliant study of the distribution of the sling in the Pacific tracts, Captain Friederici makes this note (Beiträge zur Völker- und Sprachenkunde von Deutsch-Neuguinea, page 115b): 'Such, though somewhat modified, is the case in Rapanui, Easter Island. The testimony of all the reporters who have had dealings with these people is unanimous that stones of two to three pounds weight, frequently sharp chunks of obsidian, were thrown by the hand; no one mentions the use of slings. Yet Roussel includes this weapon in his vocabulary and calls it hura. In my opinion this word can be derived only from the Mangareva verb kohura, to throw a stone or a lance. So far as we know Rapanui has received its population in part by way of Mangareva.' To this note should be added the citation of kirikiri ueue as exhibiting this particular use of ueue in which the general sense is the transitive shake. 2. Fife, whistle, drum, trumpet, to play; hurahura, whistle. P Mq.: hurahura, dance, divertissement, to skip. Ta.: hura, to leap for joy. Pau.: hura-viru, well disposed. Churchill. H. Hula, a swelling, a protuberance under the arm or on the thigh. Churchill 2.

These 3 stars were female in character. Bharani was the female organ of reproduction (Yoni) and the leading star in Virgo (the Virgin) was Spica. For canoes (ships) the stern was reserved for the woman with child:

Whereas the stronger males were placed up front. She was guiding the direction of the canoe while he was working hard. And ships were always females. Argo Navis was practically no more than the stern of a ship.

... It is an interesting fact, although one little commented upon, that myths involving a canoe journey, whether they originate from the Athapaskan and north-western Salish, the Iroquois and north-eastern Algonquin, or the Amazonian tribes, are very explicit about the respective places allocated to passengers. In the case of maritime, lake-dwelling or river-dwelling tribes, the fact can be explained, in the first instance, by the importance they attach to anything connected with navigation: 'Literally and symbolically,' notes Goldman ... referring to the Cubeo of the Uaupés basin, 'the river is a binding thread for the people. It is a source of emergence and the path along which the ancestors had travelled. It contains in its place names genealogical as well as mythological references, the latter at the petroglyphs in particular.' A little further on ... the same observer adds: 'The most important position in the canoe are those of stroke and steersman. A woman travelling with men always steers, because that is the lighter work. She may even nurse her child while steering ... On a long journey the prowsman or stroke is always the strongest man, while a woman, or the weakest or oldest man is at the helm ...

Atea changed her sex from female to male and thus forced her husband Hotu (Full Moon) to change from male to female:

... When this tremendous task had been accomplished Atea took a third husband, Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event. Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we are not told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the eyes of Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west ...

She went from the stern to the prow of the ship so to say. The pointed prow was caught in a net (a canopy):

... the great high priest and monarch of the Golden Age in the Toltec city of Tula, the City of the Sun, in ancient Mexico, whose name, Quetzalcoatl, has been read to mean both 'the Feathered Serpent' and 'the Admirable Twin', and who was fair of face and white of beard, was the teacher of the arts to the people of pre-Columbian America, originator of the calendar, and their giver of maize. His virgin mother, Chimalman - the legend tells - had been one of the three sisters to whom God, the All-Father, had appeared one day under his form of Citlallatonac, 'the morning'. The other two had been struck by fright, but upon Chimalman God breathed and she conceived. She died, however, giving birth, and is now in heaven, where she is revered under the honourable name of 'the Precious Stone of Sacrifice', Chalchihuitzli.

At the apex of his journey the swimmer was turned upside down from his midline downwards, he surely died because fishes found upside down are dead. Another swimmer, his twin, continued from that point onwards. It is said that Cleopatra donned a beard - ole, dole, doff.
